Potty Training

It has come to our attention that somehow we have the reputation of not accepting children that are not potty trained. This is not the case at all! We believe here at PeeWee that it is not developmentally appropriate to expect every child to be potty trained by the age of 2 years. We have designed our bathrooms with child size toilets to help with the potty training process. Our 2 & 3 year old classrooms are equipped with changing tables and we are ready to meet your child's needs where potty training is concerned.

There are three things we look for to see if a child is ready for potty training
1. Child shows interest and wants to go on the potty,
2. Child shows the ability to pull their pants up and down
3. Child stays dry for extended periods of time.

When these signs are all there a child is usually ready to be potty trained successfully.

Often times potty training becomes a power struggle between parents and children. In a school environment this issue can be helped because your child will see their peers advancing in their skills and want to do so also.

If you have any questions or concerns on this matter feel free to call our office! 877-0633
